Reviews

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

this was a very inventive and unique work here. i had to read this one out loud because i just knew it would be fun to say aloud. and it really has this sense of playfulness of language, kind of like a dark Dr. Seuss.
correct me if i wrong, but is english your second language? if so, your ability in this language is extremely impressive.
but i wanted to say about this work is that it has a catchiness to it. you can read several times, and get a completely different fee for it - phonetically, it is fun to read but then individual words start becoming a focus: Tear, Wind, Bar... readers can not help have an opinion of these words, and different emotion are abruptly stirred when they pop up.
in conclusion, it was fun reading this. i would love to challenge japanese people to read this out loud.

Thank you so much Erm for this read. No English is my first language Portuguese a second language. This poem was a wild hair that needed to be itched. Just one of those passing thoughts that one has. Still checking for new writings

i suspected you were bilingual, just because of your meta-linguistic awareness is very sharp. that can only come from speaking more than one language.

They are always interesting....and tongue twisters...Love the first line...and the two ways that can be read.

Thank you Jacob for the read. I was initially attracted to the idea of multiple meanings in words but as I started constructing this one I saw that ironically the strength of a poem may come in meter and rhyme regardless of meaning.
